A Muslim girl was murdered by her father, reportedly for her refusal to wear a hijab.
Where is the outrage in the streets from this woman’s sisters at NOW? A perusal of their website denotes no outrage, not even a mention of this story, nor any other story of oppression and/or torture of women at the hands of male Muslim counterparts!
Oh, they’re having a bloody cow over the reinstatement of Don Imus. But of course, calling someone a “nappy-headed ho” is a much more an egregious offense than strangling a girl to death, or mutilating her genitalia. They’re lobbying Congress for “hate crime” legislation, but I’ll bet not one word is said about the hate crimes that are perpetrated daily against their Muslim sisters.
Where are the demonstrations in the streets? Where are the hoardes at U.C. Berkeley who protested the supposed torture practiced by the CIA? (yes, I know that waterboarding is much more heinous than murder and beheading or lifelong subjugation of women)
Where is the outrage on the Left regarding the murder of Aqsa Parvez?
Could it be that there is no political gain or agenda to be advanced in demonstrating against Islamist atrocities? Could it be that the moonbat left has a problem pointing out that which may actually give credence to the reasons behind our war against radical Islam?
Could it be that the suffering of women isn’t really important to them at all?
Could it be that there must be a political payoff before they’ll demonstrate about anything? Or that any outrage that they do display is contrived and calculated to get the maximum political benefit?
Could. It. Be?

neocon: And if you both had the courage to recognize the many previous instances of this crime, and the direct relation to Islam culture, then you might actually awaken to other realities that you hide from.
Stretch it out a bit… is the issue in Canada an issue about religious fundamentalism, or Islamic fundamenalism? Especially in light of what happened in Colorado Springs recently, the more important questions are (a) is there a difference between Islamic fundamentalism and other forms of religious fundamenalism, and; (b) among or between those distinctions, is there a difference between crazy people and not?
Rico,
You compared the two concepts as mutually inclusive. They are not.
There are fundamentalists, both crazy and not. And there are secularists, both crazy and not.
To imply that the crazy who perpetrated the crime in CO Springs also had to be fundamentalist is dishonest, but completely within the liberal view of Christianity.
However to ignore the past horrific incidences that result from Islamic fundamentalist father-daughter relationships, as it pertains to this case, has to be either fear based or agenda driven.
neocon: You compared the two concepts as mutually inclusive. They are not.
Granted, I didn’t say what I meant as well as I could have, but apparently you understood my point, given this…
There are fundamentalists, both crazy and not. And there are secularists, both crazy and not.
So what part of “mutually exclusive” don’t you understand?
Those subsets are all mutually exclusive. That’s my point.
neocon: Those subsets are all mutually exclusive. That’s my point.
In that case, it appears we agree. But again in that case, how do you reconcile everything else you said on this thread? Talk about having only one oar in the water.
neocon,
Ohhhhhh, Lawrence O’Donnell! Why didn’t you say so? Now remind of the date when we all voted for Lawrence O’Donnell as being a proxy for everyone you define as liberal. I can never remember that and I keep getting confused and thinking he’s like an individual and not part of the hive-mind.
Rico,
What? Can you not, keeping in mind the history of the religion of peace, identify the one of the four subsets responsible? It’s FUNdamental for our father of the year in Canada. Islam fundamental that is.
Diana,
O’Donnell just had the courage to say it. Next time I see you criticize Islam with as much vitriol as you criticize Christianity, well then I will be wrong. But I know I am right. It’s either fear based or agenda driven. Prove me wrong.
I love it! Please, please neocon quote back to me some examples of when I criticized Christianity (from my position as a Christian) with “much vitriol”! I can hardly stand the wait!
Oh, and it’s an automatic “nuh-uh” if you try to conflate your version of “conservatism” with Christianity. That dog won’t hunt.
Well for that, I am amiss, and I apologize. I thought I recalled your post on an earlier abortion thread that had excoriated Christianity, but after checking I realized it was from someone else.
Nonetheless, many liberal ideologues feel very comfortable criticizing and ridiculing Christianity and/or Judaism yet remain silent on Islam. Why?
Your apology is most heartily accepted. If they’re an ideologue, then they’re probably not trying to use logic so who’s to say? In any case, any instance of “honor killing” or female genital mutilation by Muslims, or anyone else, is a malignancy and should be prosecuted at every possible term.
